The Morton County Case.

The Morton county case was not sub
mitted last week until late Saturday
night. The evidence of a dozen or
more witnesses was heard OH both sides,
and then all ruled out by consent, and
the case continued on the question of
law: Whether or not the state could
maintain an action in the nature of an
injunction. The attorneys spent two days
in furnishing the court with authorities
and arguments and closed Saturday
night. The speeches of Mr.. Sample
and Mr.. Webb, for the state Tor rather
Richfieldl and the argument of Judge
Martin and Gen. Johnson, for the de-
fedants frisco were commented ON as
brilliant.
Judge Ellis took the case under con-
sideration and will render his decision
this afternoon.
While it is not definitely known what
this decision will be, it is now the opin-
ion of those best informed that the in
junction Will be sustained. If this is
done, Frisco will then have to institute
quo warranto proceedings if it gets the
officers and the county seat.

TO THE FARMERS OF NORTH
CAROLINA.

Without cooperation we can have no
organization, without organization we can
have no system. without system we can
do nothing. This is the bedrock idea
upon which rests our farmers clubs and
other organizations. 1t was his that
brought into being vi splendid conven-
ton on the Goth Of January last, svhere
was organized our North Carolina Farm
ers! Association. 1t was the design and
purpose of that convention to make this
Association a permanent institution. Not
permanent, but that it should grow and
strengthen and develop until it should en-
brace in its membership. all the farmers Of
u State. Never before in all the history
of this country, have the farmers felt so
strongly the imperative necessity for Or
ganization. In the Northern and North
western States their organization is
ing steadily onward; throughout the
South the movement is not only hopeful
and significant, but wonderful, and prom
Uses at no distant day to enlist the SYM
pathy and active cooperation and sup
port Of all the intelligent and progressive
farmers of the South.
Recently a convention of representative
farmers of Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas
was held at Waco, Texas, to institute ana
prosecute such measures as would aid n
advance the movement.
On the 10th. of August a e~onventien Of
the farmers of the ten cotton States is
called to meet in Atlanta, GA, to consider
the causes of the depression existing in
the great industry Of agriculture in the
South, and if possible to find and apply the
remedy. At this convention, steps will
be taken, most probably, for the call and
organization Of National Farmers Asso-
citation. On the second Wednesday in
January next, our State Association will
meet in the city of Greensboro, N. c.
The gratifying and rapid progress made
in our State, in organizing farmers clubs
and the, organization of oranges, inspires
the belief that the farmers Of the Old
North State are being aroused as never
before, and that they will be fully pre-
pared to fall into line with their brother
farmers and with their best endeavor and

LITTLE jake JONES.

Old Mrs. Jones borrowed Mrs. Browns
recipe for making watermelon pickle the
other day, and, being hard Of hearing, as
she couldn't see to read very well, she got
her grandson ,yakle. to read it for her.
jake took the Spabert, like a dutiful child,
and, holding it upside down, commenced:
"Take a green. watermelOn-' .
"Why, jake amt you mistaken? |
thought the melon must be ripe"
ooh, what's the matter with yaw! Yew'
ever. see a watermelon that wasn't greem?'
"Cut the watermelon into four
halves
"But there amt only two halves t o
anything. I don't believe you are read
ing that, jake. r. ,
"Well I don't have to; anyhow that's
what the reset says. Then soak it in a
pint cup"
ooh, dear me! How in the world can
you put a watermelon in a pint cup?"
"Well, [ amt here to:tell the whereases
and howfores.s | amjust reading the facts
and you can put in the f~losofee to suit
your taste. After soakin' the melon put
it in a skillet and fry it fur five days"
II wonder if Mrs. Brown sent me such
a recipe as that ?>said the old lady; but
jake kept-on:. <s:%.
"Then put the watermelon in a quart
bowl and pour over it a gallon Of vinegar,
taking care not to spill the. vinegar. .
ed just like to know how you can
pour a gallon into a quart bowl without
spilling any Of it," bit jake continued:
"Then sift a peck of red pepper through
a milk ~strainer over the melon add one
cup of BUTTER. and the white and yolks
and shells of three eggs, and throw in the
old hen that laid them, and four sticks Of
cinnamon drops, aud two tablespoons of
~quinine, and run it through the coffee mill
and let it stand till it ferments, and then
put it in a tin can and tie the can to a
dogs tail-this will stir it up to the right
consistency-and then you can turn it off
in crooks and have it ready for us. Serve
it cold and spread it on mince pie, and it
makes a capital desert and jake slid
out the door and left the old lady looking
